- In a small bowl, melt the 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in the microwave or a small saucepan.1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- In another small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the crescent roll dough rectangle, going all the way to the edges.1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough. If using, scatter any chopped nuts on top of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for filling
- Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully and tightly roll the dough into a log. Once the log is formed, use a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss to cut the log into 8 equal-sized cinnamon rolls. For cleaner cuts, dental floss can be slid under the log and then twisted to cut through.
- Arrange the sliced cinnamon rolls, cut-side up, in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Leave a little space between them as they will expand during baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the simple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add a tiny bit more milk if it's too thick, or more powdered sugar if it's too thin.1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Once removed from the oven, let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly in the baking dish for about 5 minutes. Then, drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey delight!1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
